    I ave 6.1 m.p.g in a 1.4 mil mile intl coe. headwind has had the most negative affect on my m.p.g than anything else. keep it at 65 m.p.g I do 6.7-7.2 m.p.g. at times. usually run at 70-72 m.p.g. is 6.1 when running most all flat land & a low, no wind catch load like skidded coils, from in/ky line to g.r. MI. & back I would get 7.8 m.p.g. but that is running the speed limit. at that time was 55 in MI.
